A lot of times when you see recipes that make you marinate a cut of meat, they suggest putting it into a resealable plastic bag. This is because meats like raw chicken are hazardous if they’re cross-contaminated with other foods.
However, just because there’s a possibility of cross-contamination doesn’t mean you’re going to avoid it completely anyway, even if you use a disposable bag. The key to using reusable items is to wash it after you are done using it thoroughly with hot soapy water.
So, go for these Eco-friendlier options so you can ditch the plastics.
Ceramic Bowls
If you want an easy way to ditch your plastic bags, opt for a ceramic bowl instead. All you have to do is throw your meat into it and cover it with aluminum foil, or even just another plate. Everyone has ceramic bowls at home so this is an easy fix.
Glass Container
When it comes to reusable containers, it’s always best to marinate meat in a glass container. They’re the easiest to clean and since they already have a top, you don’t have to worry about how you’re going to cover it.
